I have experienced something similar when I ran wget on the device to
download a film from a local web server to the mmc.

It would get around 30mb or so, then the device started to act as you
say, CPU usage goes up and the download stalls. I ended up having to
use the USB to copy the file over, which was rather painful given the
usb 1.1 speed.
